Subtitle G of the Solid Waste Disposal Act ( 42 U.S.C. 6971 et seq. ) is amended by adding at the end the following: The Administrator shall establish a grant program to award grants to States eligible to receive the grants under subsection (b)(2) to construct large-scale composting or anaerobic digestion food waste-to-energy projects. In this subsection, the term hunger-serving organization means a food bank, food pantry, or soup kitchen (as those terms are defined in section 201A of the Emergency Food Assistance Act of 1983 ( 7 U.S.C. 7501 )).
In order to be eligible to receive a grant under this section, a State shall— limit the amount of food waste that may be disposed of in landfills in the State; enter into a written agreement with a hunger-serving organization providing that the State and the hunger-serving organization will work together to ensure that apparently wholesome food (as defined in section 22(b) of the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act ( 42 U.S.C. 1791(b) ) provided to the State for the project is redistributed to the hunger-serving organization for provision to people in need of food; and have in place a written end-product recycling plan that— provides for the use of the material resulting from the project, in accordance with guidelines that the Administrator shall establish; and ensures that the use of the material resulting from the project does not create an environmental hazard.
